I'm using setInterval and the issue is "how can i send data to function that are called from setInterval?". Now I have this: ActionScript Code: si = setInterval( startLoading(dir + "/" + f[i]) , t); If i send the function parameter in setInterval the function do all her job but the setInterval don't work. Wich are the best pratice to do this?

I have a function ("advance_slideshow()") that ticks a slide show up by one, then it loops back at the end. It works when called from the key listener I set up for debugging. However it does not work when called from setInterval. I added a trace to the function to confirm that it was being called, which it is; it just doesn't work when called via the interval

My goal is to change the time for setInterval each time the function is called. Planning to replace myInterval = 5000; with a randomized number. My problem is getting setInterval to recognize the myInterval variable from the function.

i am trying to return an XML object, but having issues. The object is only created via an Event.complete function. I need to return the XML created from my loadXML function via my grabXMLfromFile function.
Code:
function grabXMLFromFile(attrPathToXML:String):XML {
var fileUrl:String = attrPathToXML;
var myUrlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(fileUrl);

I have a singleton class that looks something roughly like this (only with more bindable public properties):
public class Session extends EventDispatcher
{
private var _Id:String;
private static const _instance:Session = new Session( SingletonLock );
private static const SESSID_CHANGED:String = 'SessionIdChanged';
[Code]...
The abnormal behavior I'm discovering is that the event listeners registered through registerOnSessionChange are indeed being called when the session Id changes, but the MXML data binding expression is not updating. I've tried all combinations of dispatching the event during the capture phase, and making it not cancelable, but to no avail. My understanding of [Bindable (event= ...)] is that the MXML should update the url string when the event specified is dispatched, so what am I doing wrong or misunderstanding?
Note: I realize there are lots of different ways of doing the singleton pattern in Actionscript, but unless the way I am doing it is actually causing my problem somehow,
I am having problems with this function, which is called when a button is pressed. I am loading a JPG with a movieClipLoader into a newly created movieclip, and while this is loading the other is still viewable and is faded and deleted when the new JPG has fully loaded, using the code below:
ActionScript Code:
function loadBigPicture(iValue:Number, firstTime:String):Void {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myBigPicture"+iValue, this.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(_level0["myBigPicture"+iValue]);

If the button is pressed extremely quickly again and again, the intervals begin to stop working

Why does clearInterval not stop the interval? Does clearInterval not work when called inside a setInterval? Am I doing something wrong? How do I get it to delete the interval when it reaches a certain count?

LoadVariables() won't work across domains, right, so, is it porrible to send data to a CGI script via getURL and not have a popup window on send?
I have an HTTPService that executes the dataLoaded(e:ResultEvent):void function whenever it gets a result from a send() call. OK so If I call HTTPService.send() and then call HTTPService.send() again before the previous one receives a result, I end up repeatedly running dataLoaded() which is undesirable What I want is if HTTPService.send() gets called before a previous call to it returns a result. I want to cancel the first call, and only process the result from the last call to HTTPService.send()

This runs contrary to my understanding of the pre-compiler and code execution order. In my way of thinking, any reference creation and related memory allocation is made when the object is instantiated, and indeed that allocation, unlike C depends not on code order (declaration before use), though this is an order that would satisfy even the C pre-compiler. If I understand the Flash compiler at all, it's not even a question of 'code order'... the symbol is pre-compiled such that for it to exist... for it to be instantiated, the variable would exist before the function would even be 'available' to be called internally or externally. Is my thinking way off, or is this a bug?
I have an AS3 program that calls a function multiple times. The function must return multiple variables, so I created a class for the function to declare an object containing all of these variables. For example, here's my class:
package
{
public class PER
{
[Code].....
Let's say the calling program calls the function, which returns the variables into data_set1 (where data_set1 depends on input variables arg1, arg2, arg3) using:
var data_set1:PER = function_name(arg1, arg2, arg3);
The calling program does some stuff, then calls the function again, but returns the variables into a new variable name, data_set2:
var data_set2:PER = function_name(arg4, arg5, arg6);
My intention is that data_set1 and data_set2 are different (e.g. not linked together).
My question is, given that arrays are passed by reference, will data_set1 be modified to agree with data_set2 upon the 2nd function call? Why or why not?

I have a site with an SWF that I can put some metrics into, such as ZIP Code, Weight, etc.. then, it takes that info and gives me shipping rates.
I need to build a front-end site that I can have a forms page that will push data to the backend SWF, and then return the data back from the SWF to the front end.
Front-end -> SWF (Zip Code, Weight, Size) -> *Calculates* -> Front-End
That should be the flow.. So I need to send data to the backend, GET the data that it calculated, and return the results to my front-end.
I currently have a Flash app that gets populated by parsing data from an external XML file. However, I need to get the XML data into a (JSP) session and can't neccesarily have an external XML file--any suggestions? Can I put the XML string into a hidden input field in a form on the HTML? Can Flash communicate with that HTML? Or are one of the below methods recommended:
* FlashVars
* Flash Remoting
* Web services
* JavaScript - call JS function
* fscommand
* ExternalInterface
I have a function that I want to run at an interval within a frame. I use the following code to start the function:
var intervalID = setInterval(intervalFunction, 3000);
Then, in a button's onRelease I want to stop the function. In the onRelease, I make a transition to another frame.
btn.onRelease = function()
{
clearInterval(intervalID);
gotoAndPlay("nextframe");
}
The intervalFunction continues to execute.
I'm creating a banner ad that tweens a thought bubble.It has 3 bubbles which tweens from the small bubble(1st one) to the big(3rd)one every 1/2 second with the setInterval function and then Invokes another setInterval which changes the text in the big bubble every 2sec. I got it to work perfectly, but the only problem is that I cant get it to loop through again properly. When I try to invoke the setInterval "animBubble" in the changeText function it doesnt read the clearInterval in the "animBubble" function causing it not to stop once the 3rd bubble has tweened in.
Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

I added a setinterval function to my slideshow.Prob is when the slideshow reaches the last pic it returns to pic1 goes to pic2,... but after the second loop it starts mixing the wrong pics for the wrong number.I guess I did a mistake in the if statement(if (nextSlideNode == null)...). can someone solve this for me.

how to clear the interval in this code? I'd also like to know if there is a better way of firing makeStars() than using setInterval in a function - like I'm doing. I've looked at the Kirupa tutorial and I'm not seeing what should be done.
Basically, this attaches a number of stars within the Stage width and height properties. When the browser resizes I rewrite the stars to the screen with the new bounds. But I can't get the interval to stop, so the stars just keep getting replaced - disappearing and relocating abruptly.
It all works great outside of the resizeIt() function, but once inside she goes down hill from there. A couple of things I need cleared up (pun intended) are:
1. Am I creating a new interval each time resizeIt() is executed?
2.What is the scope of the interval(s), and does how you access them change depending on where you are in the code, or are they more global?
stop();
//number of stars to make
var numstars:Number = 100;
_root.attachMovie("background","bkgd",this.getNext HighestDepth());

View 5 RepliesI have a function on my script that attaches a movieclip on a specific position and then it duplicates it several times. This movieclip has a code in order to move across the stage randomly. When I try to use SetInterval to repeat this function two weird things happen: the movieclips don't duplicate over that specific location (they appear on x=0,y=0) and if I set the location only one duplicates and the rest don't. My question is: what can I do to repeat the function every 2 seconds exactly as it is the first time it runs, without the objects not duplicating or moving from the original location?
Here's the code:
meteoros = function () {
this.attachMovie("asteroid","asteroid_mc",this.get NextHighestDepth());

Why is this not working? It just passes through the function instead of pausing. Source is attached:
